Our administration/referencing charge applies to all adults over the age of 18 and cover the referencing procedure and our administration costs.

Set up charge - including tenancy agreement and property check out report per tenancy. This will be due at the time an offer is agreed by a landlord and is to commence the administration to rent process and needs to be paid along with the administration/referencing charges and this is nonrefundable one off charge.

If the tenancy is renewed, we will make a charge to cover our administration.

An administration charge is charged if we have to send a second late payment reminder letter and for a third letter as per the tenancy agreement.

Should you wish to terminate your tenancy before the end of the term and the landlord agrees that you can terminate early, you will be responsible for an early termination fee. Please refer to additional fees

Having viewed the property and arrived at a decision to make an application to rent you will be required to: -

The holding deposit will be deducted from your account when the tenancy commences, however, should your application prove unsuccessful or you decide you do not want to proceed your deposit is non-refundable.

It is the Landlords ultimate responsibility to approve the references and it is imperative that you advise us in advance if you have any adverse credit history (IVAS or CCJS)

Andrew Pearce use a professional referencing company to carry out the Referencing. An electronic form is to be completed by every adult who will be moving into the property over the age of 18. The form will be sent to you via your email for you to complete online. This process normally takes 48 hours to complete once the form is submitted and Acceptable references will need to be obtained in order for us to proceed with the tenancy.

It may be that the referencing company ask for a Guarantor to be provided and in this event we will need your chosen Guarantor to complete a further reference form and provide ID and proof of residency at an additional referencing cost.

If for any reason you are unable to complete a form online, we can arrange for it to be completed at the office.

Given we have obtained acceptable references you will be offered the tenancy of the property subject only to the terms of the Tenancy Agreement.

Rents and deposits are payable by bank transfer or debit card 5 working days prior to the tenancy start date.

Rent is always paid calendar monthly in advance, the first payment being made by Bank Transfer. Subsequent payments are by Standing Order. If the payment of rent is late for any reason, interest and administration costs may be payable.

The deposit equal to one and a half month's rent is required and acts as security for the performance of your obligations as a tenant under the terms of the tenancy agreement. This deposit will be returned to you at the end of the tenancy terms without interest, and subject to dilapidations or any deductions that may be necessary to compensate the landlord for any breach of the tenancy agreement. Please see our Tenancy Agreement for complete details of how the Tenancy Deposit will be dealt with at the end of the Term.

At commencement of the tenancy we instruct a professional company to prepare an inventory and is undertaken at the landlord's expense.

The inventory will form the basis of assessment of the property's condition, including inventory items at the end of the tenancy term. Fair wear and tear will obviously be taken into consideration.

The Landlord will pay for the compilation of the inventory and the Tenants will pay the checkout fee which is incorporated within the setup fee - details of which can be provided upon request.

Where there are a number of tenants sharing accommodation, it is only acceptable that one Standing Order payment is made to Andrew Pearce Management for the entire month's rent.

Each tenant is jointly and severally responsible for the whole rent so that they are equally liable for the non-payment of rent by one of their co-tenants should they fail to pay.
